Botox®

What is Botox™? Back to Top

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. These problems can make you look look like you are frowning, angry, tired, sad or generally older.

Originally used by ophthalmologists to treat nervous twitching of the eyelid, Botox has been used for wrinkling since 1982. Botox is actually a very tiny amount of botulism that is placed into the wrinkled area to flatten it. This medicine relaxes muscles. Creases and wrinkles are  often caused by hyperactive facial muscles. A common misconception is that the doctor should inject every wrinkle. In fact, Botox is used to treat the muscles causing the wrinkles. Relaxing the surrounding muscles takes the "crunch" off and allows the skin to smooth. Originally used for treating nervous twitch of the eyelid muscles, it was discovered that the crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead creases can be flattened dramatically. Neck Bands can sometimes be helped also. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes

What is the Procedure ? Back to Top

There are very few side effects to this procedure. While allergy to any medicine is possible, it is rare with Botox. While a small amount of brow or lid droop is possible, it is unusual and can usually be avoided by not treating the area just above the outer portion of the brow. If it does happen, it goes away by itself.

Botox for Excess Perspiration ? Back to Top
"Sweating is a natural body function necessary to keep our body-temperature at 98.6 degrees," said Dr. Baral. "Some men and women’s bodies work at higher activity levels, far higher than needed to maintain a normal 98.6 temperature, thus producing an excess of perspiration otherwise known as hyperhidrosis. Stressful situations can also induce excess sweating."

While excess perspiration doesn’t pose any health threats, it can wreak havoc on one’s social life. Who wants to shake hands with wet and clammy palms? Who isn’t repulsed when noticing sweat rings under another’s armpits?

Botox can be the answer for super-sweaty individuals and recommends treatment prior to any stressful, sweat-inducing circumstances such as interviewing for a new job, getting married or starting college, among others.

Commonly used to treat wrinkles, Botox, a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent derived from Botulinum toxin, has been documented to effectively treat excess perspiration. It works by blocking nerve stimulation of the sweat glands in the areas to be treated.

Treatment consists of applying a topical or local anesthetic to the area to be treated, followed by an injection of Botox. Underarm treatments take approximately a half an hour; hand treatments one hour. Effects last 6-12 months for underarm treatments and 3-12 months for hand treatments

Each day we have more than 15.000 facial micro-contractions, that leave marks on the epidermis as fine wrinkles and expression lines. As we age the skin synthesizes less collagen and elastin, so expression lines become more visible and deeper.
Btses can help reduce the depth of wrinkles caused by contractions of the facial expression muscles on the forehead and in the eye contour.
